Motion to reconsider laid on the table Agreed to without objection.
This resolution continues the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies created by the last Congress, keeping its current powers and responsibilities. It also continues authorization for that committee to use the Capitol Rotunda and Emancipation Hall for inauguration-related proceedings. The action is an agreement between the House and Senate to organize and prepare the presidential and vice-presidential inauguration. This type of resolution directs congressional operations rather than creating new public law.
Concurrent resolutions must be agreed to by both the House and the Senate and are not sent to the President; they do not become law but govern congressional matters like committee authority and use of Capitol spaces.
This concurrent resolution continues the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies, created in the 118th Congress, effective January 3, 2025.
It preserves that committee’s powers and authority as established in S.
